-
to form another stem cell.
-
It's gone down a path towards maturation
-
that's very difficult to go back up.
-
So there's a loss of potential in this division.
-
This stem cell which is reproduced
-
still has the potential to undergo asymmetric division
-
but this one does not.
-
One sort of, might be kind of simple minded,
-
but one way to think about potential
-
is with the kind of potential that we all experience
-
as we develop from newborns to adults,
-
that a newborn child has lots of different potential.
